Hi, I'm Melissa Kay,
There's two main reasons I got into transformation work and life coaching... 1. I no longer wish to live my life on somebody else's terms! My life has an been an massive adventure to date, with enough ups and downs to resemble an elevator. For the most part I didn't know where the stop button was so I could get off. Life experiences of all sorts have built my character in various ways, too often in very challenging ways. But I realised around the age of 30 that life is a great teacher if you are willing to learn and, once you start taking responsibility for your life, you are even granted access to the controls. Now that's exciting! Then it's up to you. 2. I love helping people to improve their lives and be who they really want to be. With everything I've experienced and learnt so far, I have not only got the passion for helping others, but some excellent tools as well. I've found my way out of many dark places, destructive habits, stressful situations, uncertainty, hopelessness and heartache. I've been helping others in personal support and transformation since 2009 and it's a big part of my life purpose to be in service to others. In my mind, knowing who you are, living authentically and realising that you can take charge of your life, is close to the pinnacle of this perfectly imperfect life. It's real, it's raw and it's not always pretty, but it's so very, very rewarding. |

A little bit about me...
I grew up in a very nomadic family, always on the move and always seeking new adventure. It has it's pros and cons. By my 16th birthday I was out of home for a while, learning life the hard way, with little more than a few hand me down clothes from some kind acquaintances. At that time I had a problem with alcohol, a problem with cigarettes and a problem with my attitude. Somehow I managed enough clarity to get out of that situation, get back to my mother, get back to school and even go to University. It seems, even at that young age, there was some kind of drive in me to do better. In my 20's I experienced my first broken heart, the loss of a pregnancy, depression, an engagement that did not result in a wedding, physical abuse, emotional turmoil and hopelessness. Yet still, there was some kind of drive in me to be and do better. I followed my passion in work and lived a life full of adventure and travel. I still had a problem with alcohol, cigarettes and attitude. In my 30's I had two children, got married, got divorced, got harassed, had financial stress, nearly lost one of my children in an accident, and experienced narcissism at it's finest. You know what I'm going to say now right? Yep, I was still driven to be, do and live better. I learnt ways to help myself, to build on my strengths, to listen to me, to become who I actually wanted to be. I learnt ways to ditch the stuff that I didn't need in my life, the debilitating beliefs and destructive habits. Then, I learnt ways to work with others so they could do the same. In my 40's, well I'm still writing that chapter but I do know that I like who I am now, I trust that I'm doing good in this world in the ways that I can, and I continue to strive everyday for authenticity, growth and success in all areas of my life. It requires consistent effort and commitment which is fine with me, because I've tried the other options and they just don't work! Nowadays I run a successful coaching business, and am privileged to work with clients all over the world to breakthrough limitations and get what they want in life. My own life experiences combined with personal development and coaching training, and my passion for helping others, keeps me well rounded and ready to serve. Are you ready for the next step?

Still want some more?
A favourite song of mine (if you're Australian you'll probably know it) goes, "this life, well it's slipping right through my hands, these days turned out nothing like I had planned". I've felt this way so many times. Sometimes we stop and take stock of our lives and think, "how did I get here?" or "this isn't exactly what I had in mind". Sometimes we can be so busy in life that we don't even notice, until we are so far from where we had planned to be, that we really need to question the path we are on. The song then goes on, "control, well it's slipping right through my hands". Yep, sometimes it feels like you don't have much say in it. But here's where it get's exciting! Whilst the song itself might be a bit sad indeed, it doesn't actually have to be that way. Sure there'll always be situations, curve balls, and other people that are out of your control, but they don't have to control your life or who you are. Learning to take control and live life on your terms is not only rewarding, it is the path to success. It begins with you! |
